Intestinal parasitic infection

open access: yesAbdominal Imaging, 2007
In general, gastrointestinal tract is the primary involvement site of parasites during their life cycle. In this article, we will describe amebiasis, ascariasis, and anisakiasis among the many common intestinal parasitic diseases. We will review the epidemiology, life cycles, clinical manifestations and complications, and illustrate detailed imaging ...

Host genes, parasites and parasitic infections

International Journal for Parasitology, 1993
Resistance to infection of mammalian hosts by parasites is under genetic control at many different levels: between species, between races, breeds and lines of single species and between individuals. These genetic effects have been described in many host-parasite systems.

Parasite infections revisited

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2005
Studying parasites helps reveal basic mechanisms in immunology. For long this has been recognized for studies on the immune system of mice and man. But it is not true for immunological studies on fish. To support this argument we discuss selected examples of parasite infections not only in warm-blooded but also in cold-blooded vertebrates. We point out

Parasitic Infections in Pregnancy

Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2011
Parasitic infections affect tens of millions of pregnant women worldwide. These infections lead directly and indirectly to a spectrum of adverse maternal and fetal/placental effects. With the increase in global travel, healthcare providers will care for women who have recently moved from or traveled to areas where these infections are endemic.

Parasitic infections of the intestines

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 1999
Intestinal parasites remain extremely common worldwide. In developing countries, intestinal protozoans are important causes of childhood diarrhea. Cryptosporidiosis is a common cause of chronic diarrhea in patients with AIDS. With the advent of current active antiretroviral therapy the incidence of cryptosporidiosis in AIDS has decreased.

Eicosanoids in parasites and parasitic infections

2000
Eicosanoids are lipid mediators with multiple functions in vertebrate tissues and invertebrate organisms. In this review the roles of eicosanoids--mostly prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes and leukotrienes--in parasite physiology and host-parasite interactions are discussed. PGs are present in the saliva of blood-sucking arthropods facilitating feeding
